Ed Frid

Ed Frid (Jerry Schaefer) is the second animal control officer in Possum Lake history, replacing Garth Harble after he retires. Despite his role as an animal control officer, Ed is deathly afraid and paranoid of virtually all animals, firmly believing that they are out to get him ("even when your father's a much better target!"). In general, Ed is very high-strung and prone to panicking easily. He lived in a decent house in his youth (unlike the other lodge members), until the fateful day when his parents decided to move. The house they moved into was just as nice as their previous one, with the minor detail that it was right next to the humane society. Well, apparently, they had figured out how to get out of their cages at night and would sneak into Ed's house. They would go right past his father (who had been banished to sleeping on the couch, and he usually stank of pork rinds) and go right for Ed. Ed found that his only option for relief from this nightly happening was to become an animal control officer. However, the animals left a permanent mark on Ed's mind and he was fearful of all animal since.
